So emotional

I think I am losing it. I keep getting emotional and start crying when I realize how fast my lo is growing or whenever my husband talks about it. I find myself crying all the time. Is this normal? Doesn’t feel normal to me... my husband keeps telling me that I should be happy because we are so blessed and trust me I know and I am extremely happy and proud of my little man’s accomplishments and I love him more than anything else but watching him grow gets me extremely emotional. I feel like every day he needs me less and less... im feeling like a crazy overly emotional mess. I didnt have pp or any overly emotional times during my pregnancy... i almost feel like its all coming out now... anyone else feeling similar? Or can offer any tips to get me to stop blubbering?

I haven’t cried yet but do get all welled up and sad. I have no advise but you’re not alone! I am beyond happy that little man is growing and healthy but also sad that he is becoming so independent. I have a 9 year old as well and all I keep thinking is that soon LO (little one) will be 9 too.
I just bought a blanket from Etsy with this quote from Peter Pan:
Little boys should never be put to bed, they always wake up a day older.

Your 11-month-old: Week 4

If your baby isn't walking already, she's likely to take her first independent steps soon. (If not, don't worry. Some perfectly normal babies are 17 or 18 months old before they start walking.)
